was appointed by the court to de-
fend, the latter being charged with

That is to say, your lungs. Also
all your breathing machinery. Very
wonderful machinery it is. Not only
the larger air-passages, but the thou
sands of little tubes and cavities lead
ing from them.
When these are clogged and chok-
ed with matter which ought not to be
there, your lungs cannot half do their
work. And what they do, they can
not do we'll.
Call it cold, cough, Group, pneu-
monia, catarrh, consumption or any
of the family of throat and nose and
head and lung distractions, all are
bad. All ought to be got rid Of.
There is just one sure way to get rid
of them. That is to take Boschee's s
German Syrup, which any druggist
will sell you at 20 cents a bottle.
Even if everything else has failed
you, you may depend upon this for
certain. o

Farmers clubs.

We are glad to note that in some
counties of-this state farmers are
agaln beginning to see the necessity
Of an organization among themselves
in the interest of their business. The
tendency of such organizations,
when properly conducted, is TO make
agricultural pursuits more lucrative
and pleasant to those who are engag-
ed IN them. We do not expect such
institutions to make every member q
scientific farmer, as full of experi-
rnents as an egg is full of meat.
Their chief benefit arises in impart-
ing knowledge of intelligent meth
DDS as practiced by the most success
full farmers and the adoption Of
means to protect agricultural inter-
ests. All other classes and profes-
sions have their associations which
are organized with the view Of en-
hancing their several peculiar inter-
ests, while the farmers are holding
back, expecting and hoping that in
the distribution of the good things
of this world, "fate," ''luck" or
some other myth" will bring them
a far share. If farming is to be
profitable or pleasant to those who
engage In it, it must be conducted
as other business is conducted where
a good degree of success is attained.
1t has been said that the ''Grange
movement inaugurated few years
since was failure and did not bring
the relief expected. We do not re-
gard it as failure In every sense,
There was good done through the
grange as long as the grangers con-
fined themselves to legitimate meth
DDS. When they made war upon
the merchant who bought their farm
products and sold them goods at
reasonable rates, calling him q
''middle man. and worked for his
overthrow they made mistake.
When they permitted selfish men TO
become the leaders of the grange and
run 1T for POLITICAL purpose they
made another mistake. When they
permitted their organizations
to go down under mis-
rule, instead OF correcting
whatever abuses had crept into them,
and thus perpetuate their being in
every county, they made the worst
mistake of all.

WnY Leave Missouri

For what do You intend leaving
Missouri? Surely it is not for good
crops. The states wheat crop aver
ages twenty aud one-half bushels to
the acre, the heaviest of any state in
the Union. Other crops are in pro-
portion, and there has never been a
year when cyclones, drouths, excess
siye rains, and other like causes
brought famine to the land, as in
many states west Of us.
When education is thought of,
Missouri ranks easily with the fore
most states. Her school fund is only
exceeded by that of one other state
In the Union. Last ear there was

For state treasurer. Ed Noland
seems to have the field TO himself.
No one, so far, has announced his
desire TO make the contest, though L
hear Dick Gentry occationally mem
toned as coming candidate.
STATE AUDITOR.
The only candidate so far for this
office is Mr.. J. T. Clark, formerly
Auditor Walkers chief clerk. Mr..
Clark has been employed in the office
for the past thirteen years and is
thoroughly familiar with all its duties
and responsibilities. He has made
quite reputation as the compiler
of the annual reports made by Audi
tor Walker, while acting as chief
clerk of the office. HIS qualifica
tions will no doubt commend him to
the consideration of the nominating
convention. The name Of Hon. j.
NJ. Siebert, present state treasurer,
is frequently mentioned by his
friends in connection with this
Office, and there Is no doubt among
the knowing ones, but that he will
formally announce himself at the
proper time. Mr.. Siebert is very
strong man. He has ably and intel
ligently discharged his duties as
treasurer and has made many warm
personal friends during his term
which expires January next. He
has a we'll balanced mind, an even
temper, IS affable and pleasant in
his intercourse with gentlemen, and

RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.
General James Harding, chairman
of the board of railroad commission
ers, is the only candidate announced
for the place. I hear, however, that
Mr.. Webb, of Crawford county, will
probably again be candidate. 1t
is generally thought, however, that
General Harding will not have much
serious opposition. Under the new
law the Office of railroad commits
sioner is now one of great Importance
to the people Of the state, and it
would perhaps be bad policy to ex-
change General Harding, with his
great experience and thorough
knowledge of railroad affairs, for an
man.
The railroad commissioners inform
me that they are having NO difficulty
with the railroads under the opera
tions of the "Swamp Angel" law.
All the roads have filed their sched-
ules as required by the new law, and
seem disposed to obey all its re-
quirements: The great state Of
Missouri is behind the law and there
will be no trouble in enforcing it.
The law clothes the commissioners
with extraordinary powers, but they
say they will use the power with dis
cretion-they will secure all the
benefits they can for the people
without injury tot the roads. The
roads have already made radical re-
duction in freight rates, and the
commissioners expect oD many com
moditles to get still lower rates.

EDITOR CoCRIER-The fall festiyi-
ties are over, the president has come
and gone, and the Den crats are in
high spirits over the fall elections,
the political pot has begun to simmer
and boil little. Some of the aspI-
rants for state offices have boldly an
nounced themselves and others are
cautiously feeling their way.
Quite number of gentlemen,
good men and true Democrats, quiet
ly announced themselves some time
ago, as willing to enter the lists for
gubernatorial honors; but gracefully
withdrew their claims when it was
announced that Judge Norton would
accept the nomination. They recog-
nize that Judge Norton is necessity
of the situation. The party of late
years has become somewhat demor-
allied, there has been scratching of
the ticket here, dIsaffection there,
a little rebellion yonder, and indif-
ference and lukewarmness every
where, and the thinking men of the
party, the leaders, saw the necessity
of putting long tried, sturdy old
wheel horse" in the lead, to unite
the party and restore harmony in
the disordered ranks, therefore the
demand from all parts of the state
upon Judge Norton to become a can
didate. Messrs. Morehouse, CIardy,
Dockery and Francis are good men,
and either would fill the high position
" ith honor and credit to themselves
and the party, but they are young
and vigorous and can afford to wait.
Judge Norton cannot, occupying the
position he does, as chief justice of
the supreme court, make canvass
for thu nomination, but when nomi-
mated, will no doubt, tender his
and enter the canvass.
